DC Trip Day 1

Driving for a long time: Overall Distance- about 770 miles.
We left at 7 am and got to our hotel at 9 pm. That was with about 4 or 5 rest stops and 1 food break at Cracker Barrell.
A few highlights from that day:
- Mom letting Alicia drive then freaking out about it.
- The iPass working in every single state! (Who knew eh?)
- Almost every other state besides Wisconsin has interstates with "Rest stops" that include gas, bathrooms, and food. However it's not a ramp, you can only go on the rest stop. In Indiana there were two identical rest stops on each side of the road with BP and a McDonalds.
- I slept most of the way, cause I was tired from Charlie's Aunt Nicole's wedding before. (which was a blast, dancing was so much fun! I taught Charlie how to Polka but he just hopped, it was still cute)
- Cracker Barrell has amazing chicken and dumplins.
- Indiana and Ohio are boring and flat, but Pennsylvania is beautiful and mountainy!
- When we left Cracker Barrell in PA, in the heart of the Appalichian Mountains, we turned the wrong way and the GPS took a different way to the hotel, one that included our little Prius full of stuff going up mountains, over 3000 feet, and back down. It almost didn't make it at one point, Mom started hyperventalating, but we got through, it was like a rollercoaster in the dark though. This is where we said that the GPS (also now known as the Bitch) really "Skrewed the Pooch on that one". lol
- We stayed at a Best Western that was pretty nice.
